    Well ive only been to spurs rockets games but i go to pretty much everyone over the past couple years because it is so close to austin.

    I noticed the city is spurs obsessed and there are spurs themed stuff throughout the city but the stadium didnt seem any more hype than toyota center. Maybe its because half the fans there were rockets fans each time.

    When I was at game 1 against the rockets last year half the stadium emptied out by the middle of the 2nd quarter. We were spanking them bad that game though.

    Right now Rockets are middle of the pack; Average but not trash at #15. Spurs are #12. Thunder who just got the Big 3, an MVP, and widely considered one of the better home crowds are #13. Mavs are #5

    Yeah it is inevitable that they will be good but I think our offense is very hard to guard. Theres no way their defense looks this good against us.

    Spurs look like they have no one who can score aside from midrange 2 aldridge. Theyve been trending down throughout the season.

    I think they are getting figured out as the season goes on since they dont have kawhi. Even still they might beat okc tonight.

    I don't gauge OKC early. Every game I've watched, OKC sprints out to a big lead, but the other team ALWAYS chips away. If you're not watching the scoreboard, it feels like the OKC lead should be more because it looks like they are playing so much harder.

    As I said, a lead against the Spurs is never safe.

    those are just rankings for the number of fans that show up to each game tho

    OKC has sold out every game, they just don’t have a large stadium so they’re at 13th...plus their crowd is always into the game and brings energy

    Mavs are trash and have sold out every game

    it says that we average 99% capacity, but we all know that’s not really true because even tho the tickets get sold, a large number of people don’t show up in the lower bowl so TC usually looks about 70% full with multiple empty rows and huge pockets of empty seats

    plus, our home games are usually dead with the crowd making no noise

    It seems like no lead okc holds is ever safe either. Double whammy lol

    Westbrook and Melo have brought out those fresh All-Star Chucks early. Usually they dust those joints off in the 4th.
